I hope you are ready for another day at the beach! Nha Trang seems to be a rapidly developing tourist area – luxury hotels along a lovely stretch of beach. Across the bay is an amusement park built to attract tourists.

We have arrived at one of my ultimate travel goals: Hong Kong! I first tried to plan a trip to Hong Kong back in 1992. I didn't make it then but have been eager to keep trying ever since. There is much more to see and do than we can accomplish in these two days but you might return on a day at sea to complete your tour.

​My search for entertainment featuring Hong Kong resulted in the collected works of Bruce Lee & Jackie Chan. If you like that sort of thing, Amazon can certainly fulfill your desired for hours of kung fu fighting.

I'm exhausted, how about you? I think we covered as much of Beijing as is humanly possible in two days. Feel free to revisit anything you might have missed on a day at sea.

Shanghai on Sunday; then back to our final stops in Japan! We are about a third of the way through our cruise. Have you had any personal best experiences yet? Don't forget to post comments for your fellow cruisers. This is a shared experience after all.

A simple stir fry with bok choy, onion, shrimp and plenty of garlic! It does make us feel that we might really be there. Dad said he liked it between mouthfuls. I have to admit it did turn out well, and very photogenic!
